Greetery Bouquets

 When I stamp images like these florals, I often stamp multiples so that they're ready to go for another time.  Today I picked up bits and pieces from 6 different stamp sets from The Greetery, and a few stand alone dies from them as well (love these wood slices!).  Happy to have a couple of generic cards ready to go in my stash.

I used my Beam paints to spatter a little silver and gold paint on my backgrounds, and used some 3D foam adhesive to give them a little dimension.

The Greetery Thank You Cards

 I have a niece getting married in a few weeks, so I decided to make her a set of thank you cards to tuck in with their gift.  I used lovely stamps and dies from The Greetery to put them together:

I chose my colour palette from the two colours of brown cardstock that I used to make the wood slice, and stuck with Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint, using the pink and green to blend a soft halo of colour on the white rectangle.  The browns are Rusty Hinge and Walnut Stain.  The stamp set is Budding Beauties - Autumn.  I spattered some brown paint lightly on the back ground, and then adhered the wood slice down with 3D foam adhesive.  I managed to get five of each made to send!

Wood Slices Part 2

 This die set from The Greetery comes with both a large (yesterday's post!) and a small wood slice die.  So here is pretty much the same card as yesterday, but this one is 5 1/4" square, and uses the smaller flower images from Oopsie Daisy:

I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!  It's all about Blooms this week.

Wood Slices

 Check out my new Wood Slices Dies from The Greetery!!  I've been coveting these dies for awhile, and they showed up in my mailbox recently :o)  You can expect to see a lot of them...  I've paired them with all kinds of other Greetery products: Oopsie Daisy, Petite Eucalyptus, Tie One On dies and the sentiment is from Pitcher-esque:

I ink blended some Mowed Lawn ink onto my card base, and added a few black ink splatters and black Nuvo Drops.  All of the inks used are Distress Oxides.

Happy with my first efforts!  Practise does make perfect, though.
